Annoucement · Nourish
Meet the Anchor Collaborative Cohort
|
|
|
|
The team from St. Joseph's Health Care London and ReForest London (Ontario).
|
|
Nourish is excited to announce its 2021-2023 Anchor Collaborative Cohort: seven teams bringing together health care and community organizations to harness their mission and resources as local anchor institutions to catalyze change on health, equity, and climate.
Working through the power of food, these Collaboratives will tackle issues ranging from health inequity in a racialized neighbourhood in Toronto to food insecurity in Inuit and Innu communities in Labrador. Other issues include food as medicine, the relationship between diet and chronic disease, and how menus can integrate environmental sustainability and cultural diversity. The Cohort’s work will be informed by both Western and Indigenous systems change frameworks. These partnerships will act as a catalyst for broader change — in fostering equity and decolonization in the food and health care sectors, as well as advancing the work of Reconciliation.

Resource
A Developmental Evaluation Companion now available
|
|
As part of our commitment to building a resilient, inclusive and sustainable society, the Foundation supported the research and creation of A Developmental Evaluation Companion.
Designed to be flexible and adaptable to changing contexts, Developmental Evaluation supports real-time learning in complex and emergent situations. In other words, situations that are the hallmarks of social innovation.
This follow-up edition to the 2008 Development Evaluation Primer draws from a decade of practice and features multiple examples and case studies. The Foundation hopes it will help you increase your impact.

We’re happy to share the news that one of the Foundation’s newest partners, The Narwhal, has received the Canadian Association of Journalists’ award for photojournalism. Launched in 2018, The Narwhal is an online, non-profit media organization that focuses its coverage on the climate crisis.
The award recognizes Aaron Vincent Elkaim’s in-depth feature examining the impact of hydro development on Indigenous communities in northern Manitoba and the larger context of environmental colonialism in Canada.
“We launched The Narwhal to tell stories that are often out of sight and out of mind,” co-founder and editor-in-chief Emma Gilchrist said. “We are incredibly honoured to receive this recognition for telling an often-overlooked story.”
